100 things that make me happy

My friend and writer Nicole Baute made a list of 100 things that makes her happy as part of a free writing exercise. Her list was interesting and revealing.

I worked with Nicole for six months and I never knew she loved the color red too. The exercise created by Julia Cameron is to help writers get out of their heads. Anyway, so before I find the book – The Right to Write – I decided to try my hands at the exercise.

I’m not officially out of my head yet, but I had the most fun compiling this list. I didn’t even realize how much all these different things mean to me until i started i started. It took longer than the recommended 30 minutes (i spent an hour or so) I will certainly find the book.

Here we go…

1. Fresh food
2. Trying out new foods
3. Tea
4. Yoghurt
5. Books
6. Been given a book as a gift
7. Finding fun and quirky gifts
8. Eating out with friends
